Army Repulses Pak Border Action Team, 2 Soldiers Killed In Firefight

Two soldiers died during an exchange of fire with Pakistan's Border Action Team, which had intruded into the Line of Control at Poonch district.

The armed intruders targeted an "area domination patrol" of the Indian Army, triggering a gunfight, the official said.

According to reports, Pakistani troops are resorting to mortar shelling and firing of small arms, automatics along the Line of Control areas. Two Pakistan Border Action Team members were killed in a firefight with Indian jawans and a third one escaped back across the Line of Control. The slain soldiers were identified as Naik Sandip Jadhav and Sepoy Savan Mane. "Pakistan's BAT team was 600 metres within the Indian side of the LoC and 200 metres from the Indian posts". The Pakistani troops had voilated the ceasefire in Khari Karmara of Poonch sector, Jammu and Kashmir.

The intruders attacked Army posts along LoC at around 2 pm on Thursday.

In February 2000, seven months after the Kargil War, a Pakistani BAT killed seven Indian soldiers in Nowshera in Rajouri district.
